Even if they're going innawoods, you don't teleport there. Just bring cash instead of water, it's a lot lighter, buy some from a convenience store on your way out. If society collapses to the point money has no value compared to water, you've got a lot more problems than an ill-equipped bugout bag.

In fact, later in the article they even say to bring cash. Are you preparing to storm out of the house in a romance movie "Ah! I'm going to my sister's! Harrumph!" or are you preparing for nuclear winter?

And... a copy of your house deed? Just put that shit in a safe deposit box in a major bank far away from you. Again, if that winds up being a problem to retrieve due to societal collapse, but is immediately needed... Then there's bigger problems than your bugout bag.

An apocalypse bugout bag should contain water filtration, iodine tablets, a metal sleeping bag, and lots of firepower. The rest falls into place from there. A runaway bag should contain money... And you're pretty much good, that's about it.

Beyond this, you're better off not making a bag at all, just go for actual fortification of your existing life. Northern USA and central Canada, you're more likely to be facing being snowed-in for several days without power, than needing to flee anything in any immediate sense. Build for your local disasters.

I don't where the writers of NPR live, but usually the county courthouse keeps a record of all deeds. You should keep a copy of the deed for your own records, but any serious conveyance of real estate is going to involve a title company doing some research on the chain of title. It's not like a cartoon where someone magically owns the property when they get ahold of the deed.

Besides cops don't kick out looters now. You think they are going to start doing it post collapse

These people can't walk the 20 miles in a day that will be necessary when the whole city is in full panic and it's complete gridlock everywhere.

when you say metal sleeping bag do you mean Mylar coated?
